[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 142881, member: 13090"] I don't think anyone here is withholding information and I think we're all happy to share what we know. That being the case, no one gets paid by the keystroke and human nature being what it is, I think there's a huge difference between someone posting a question along the lines of, "I need flash for my Nikon 5100 and this is why and what I intend to use it for. This is what I need and I've narrowed it down to these two and here's why. Can you help me come to a good decision?" vs. "What's deal with using a flash?" One question shows you've taken some initiative to learn something on your own, the other seems like you're just taking advantage of the knowledge base here and the good nature of those of us who HAVE taken the time to learn this stuff. Put forth a tiny bit of your own effort and I think you'll find you'll get far better responses. Just my two-cents. [/QUOTE]
